Valor and Violet salons mean everything to owners Kari and Joshua, two stylists who met years ago. Joshua and Kari wanted more for their clients, themselves and the team they would build. They came from humble beginnings and had their idea turned down 37 times before successfully opening on Main Street in Ames, fall of 2016.
Their vision was to create a salon unlike any other. With Aveda & Bumble and Bumble behind them, they have done just that.
They named their salon Valor for great courage and Violet for free spirit. They have fought for their own identity and live by their own rules. You will see their hearts in Valor & Violet and you will feel their dream right when you walk in.
